Ah ,I see, my test didn't place an average on IQ, just gave me a number. My personal highest percentile was 98th in passage comprehension.Monkeyman8 said:99th percentile average, I'll dig it up for specifics tomorrow. it was like 99.8th, 99th, 50th percentiles. lowest being in processing speedDarius Brogan said:99th percentile in what? Normal IQ tests are done in sections then, I believe, calculated to an average. The percentiles assigned are to each of the sections of the test, not to the completed work.Monkeyman8 said:99th percentile, that's all that matters
You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what intelligence is. Knowledge does not equal intelligence, never has done and never will. Intelligence is how fast the neurons in your brain transmit signals to each other, or more simply, the speed at which you process information, and that *is* something that you can transfer to real life, help you cope with the pressure of those external factors.drdamo said:I did an official MENSA test about 5 years ago, got 139, 1 point less than the minimum to be accepted (Its for the top 2% of the world's smartest people).
Try the indication test on their website if you really think you are that smart.
All the other tests are bollocks.
Actually all tests are bollocks so forget about it.
Such tests are simply an indication for that specific place, time and state of mind when you did it.
It doesn't guarantee that you always are able to access your optimal knowledge capacity.
So real intelligence isn't measured by something standardized, but how you manage to use it when its actually needed. So good for you if you can stuff a bunch of facts into your gray matter, i'd like to see how you'll cope in real life when you feel the pressure and are influenced by various other external factors like: other people, company policy, improvisation, specific demands made by a client and what not.
Mine is OVER 9000!BudZer said:213. Why are you looking at me like that? I figured everyone else is lying about their scores so I might do it as well.
Sure, as soon as you pony up the research funding.Hateren47 said:If not stop wasting your time on internet forums and invent either warp-drive or infinite improbability-drive. I want to get of this rock.
You're missing the most important part of scoring well on IQ tests - it gives you a number higher than most other people's. IN YOUR FACE, LOWER NUMBERED PEOPLE!Kermi said:Even then, all it means is that you were the one with the most correct answers on that test.
